  • The reason we are bringing in PowerUp Shop is that it is the next step in terms of balancing this mod one step beyond. Right now this feature is available for all as we iron out the bugs and add more features, but ultimately this will be a patreon and youtube member only perk, to give some incentive to support this project and get some minor buffs in return to enhance everyone’s gaming experience.
    • Unfortunately this also works on robots in our other gamemode manned machines, but we know that our players use the honor system to never abuse this for their own gains.

      • Contracts are purely cosmetic for the time being and does nothing other than track how many times you’ve done them
      • The contracts are adding for testing purposes to give something extra to grind for when playing on balance mod servers, this will also work on manned machines as well

  • The Claidheamh Mòr
    • Added:

    • Changed:
      • Max Health penalty penalty applies all the time
      • Increased max health penalty from -10 to -15
    • This is to further enhance the “increased range” for mobility options for demo regardless of item combination. For now this attribute doesn’t require the weapon to be active, as the downside is also constantly present.
  • Persian Persuader
    • Added:
      • On Hit: +25% faster reloadspeed for 10 seconds
    • This is to keep with the theme to increased tempo as it does with charge recharge

    • Passive uber gain buff gained
  • Added:
    • On 100 damage done to players: Gain 15% uber
    • Plays a sound and visual effect whenever bonus uber is added
    • This change helps with the readability of ubercharge. The previous version was OK fo building uber, but the nature of the buffs made it hard to get a ready on how much uber was gained. Testing will be needed to iron out the balance of this as the thershold between trash and OP is very small.

Brass Beast

  • Added:
    • While Spun Up: +18% crit resistance
      • Suggested by Big Stick
      • This change is meant to help with survival against snipers while revved up, as you do move very slowly. The interraction change here is that only machina will be able to oneshot with a full charge, while all other rifles almost kills the heavy. Unhealed the interractions remain the same

The Claidheamh Mòr

    • Damage vulnerabilty
  • Added:

      • Maxhealth reduced -10

Plans

Balancemod Balance Changes

Sharpened Volcano Fragment

  • Changed:
    • Reduced damage from explosion from 45 to 35
      • This reduction makes it so you can’t puff and sting one-shot 125 HP Classes anymore
    • Updated the web-site description to match the weapon stats.

Thermal Thruster

  • Removed:
    • Faster recharge time bonus
      • The faster recharge time made this weapon very obnoxious to deal with, with little counter play. With the lowered holstering time, this weapon is good enough to get decent value from on bombs

Huntsman

  • Removed:
    • Faster projectile speed
      • This faster speed made the weapon too easy to hit stuff with, so it has been removed
  • Added:
    • +15% faster reload speed
      • While the Huntsman is not good in open spaces and is very inconsistent, being able to shoot more arrows will allow you to hit more to better deal with it’s inconsistency

Solemn Vow

  • Changed:
    • Reduced healing bonus from +50% to +25%

Chargin Targe

  • Removed:
    • +30% sentry gun resistance

Splendid Screen

  • Removed:
    • +10% sentry gun resistance

Tide Turner

  • Removed:
    • 10% faster recharge time

Boot Legger & Weebooties

  • Added:
    • +30% sentry gun resistance
      • This change was suggested by some compentitive players. By moving the resistance to the shoes they are buffing the sentry tankyness of demoknights ore, as well as increasing the usability for stickybomb launcher shoe combo, which isn’t that much used

Enforcer

  • Removed:
    • Razorback break ability
      • This ability was a left over from long ago where this weapon didn’t really have a place. With the slight increase in disguise shot and blink time reduction, this weapon servers a purpose that is general for the spy

Atomizer

  • Reverted back to vanilla:
    • Reduced Quad jump back to Triple Jump

Degreaser

  • Added:
    • -25% damage penalty
      • With the fix to the deployment and holstering speeds, this weapon became a better flamethrower as afterburn isn’t really an issue against better players. This overall damage nerf makes it so that it will lose to all other pyros in a WM1 battle, which previously was even. Now it focuses on comboing with other weapons more than being able to just WM1 just as well as other flamethrowers

Invis Watch & Cloak & Dagger **

  • Added:
    • +15% jump height while cloaked
      • We are fairly certain that this will break spy in some regard, but it’s worth testing to see how spy being able to jump over enemies changes how powerful spy is, there’s probably many unforseen consequences to this, which we hope will experience

Vaccinator

  • Changed:
    • Fixed uberbuildrate value being incorrectly shown on stat pages
    • Reduced overheal healrate penalty from -50% to -40% The vaccinator is supposedly underpowered with the reduction of 2 charges instead of 4, increasing the amount of heal it does to overhealed teammates should help with this

      • Being able to remove nearly all buffs is really strong, however mark for death is hard to apply and is a downside on some weapons that could outright be negated entirely with this weapon

Eviction Notice

  • Removed:
    • Faster holster and deploy bonus
  • Added:
    • On Deploy: 1 second of speed boost
    • On Deploy: 5 second cooldown between speedboost uses
      • The eviction notice has been in a place where it’s been hovering between worse than GRU and better than GRU without really doing the part where it’s supposed to do short range movement options more viable. With the now faster regen and the speed boost, it should help in short burst areas where you trade off 20 hp for a small speed boost that could land you additional speed.

Fan’o War

  • Bugfix:
    • Fixed a bug where it would deal mini-crits instead of normal damage when applying the debuff.

Sniper Rifles

  • Removed:
    • -50% / -25% slower reload speed
    • This experimental change didn’t really change much, so we reverted it as firing speed is important for those who have learned the timings of the game and this slower change didn’t tie in with our vision of it playing close to regular TF2 in terms of timing and usage

Scramble Plugin

  • Now restarts the round entirely as restarting the round is buggy with the TF2 logic

Engipads

Southern Hospitality

  • Changed:
    • Reduced the upgrade rate penalty from 18 to 20 metal per swing
      • The previous upgrade rate penalty required an additional 12 swings to fully upgrade everything, this has now been lowered to make this more managable as your buildings will be later than usual, but not unbearably late. This brings it down to 10 compared to the 8 needed with the stock wrench

Sniper Rifles**

  • Added:
    • -50% slower reload speed
    • This is an experimental change, we are quite convinced that this will not change the power output of sniper in any meaningful way, but it’s good to test this and get this confirmed

Equalizer

  • Removed: Damage increases as health decreases stat
  • Added: +60% damage bonus while below half health
  • Bugfix: Fixed a bug where these new stats used the wrong killfeed icon. Untangled some valve spaghetti

Scramble Plugin

  • Added functionality so the scramble plugin actually scrambles again
  • Added functionality where scramble plugin will randomly select to use ELO points to scramble or use ingame score
  • Scramble now resets the round (causes setup time to bug with shutters open)
  • Use vscramble to initiate a vote

  • Removed:
    • This weapon holsters 30% faster

We had a similar version to this prior, but then the fire axe provided the global switch speed. We will try this again. As holstering in TF2 can get bugged, the global switch speed should help with this.

Liberty Launcher

Cow Mangler

  • Changed:

Liberty Launcher

  • Added:
    • 10% faster reload speed The Liberty Launcher has been in a spot where it has been almost good for some time, if the damage penalty is lowered any more it will be a straight upgrade to stock, however a small reload speed increase should help the barrage potential with this weapon as you will fire a lot of rockets doing less damage. We will have to see if this makes the weapon too good or not.

Bushwacka

  • Removed:
    • +20% longer melee range
      • It got this stat as a result of following the same balancing rules as swords, with slower deploy has longer range, however it hardly ever mattered, so it has been removed

Shahanshah

  • Removed:
    • -20% slower firing speed
      • The interraction change is signifigant enough that it takes 2 additional swings to kill 125hp class at over half health, and it takes 3 instead of 4 swings to kill a 175hp class at below half health, the slower swing speed didn’t really matter in this case as well, so it was removed
